Singapore’s Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) has published its 2025/26 annual report, highlighting continued progress in regulatory oversight, technology and AML controls. Casino-related crime remained low for 2025, while local casino visitation declined for a third consecutive year.
The number of Singapore citizens and permanent residents visiting the city-state’s casinos fell to around 91,000, down from about 94,000 for 2024, a 3.2% decline. The figure represents 2.7% of Singapore’s adult population, compared with 2.8% the previous year.
The number of people holding annual casino entry passes also remained stable at around 6,700 for both 2024 and 2025.
In his first annual report as GRA Chief Executive, Daniel Tan, who joined the regulator in June 2026, said the organisation had made strong progress across several areas.
Tan noted: "GRA made strong progress across multiple fronts, from strengthening regulatory oversight and supporting Singapore's Financial Action Task Force ("FATF") Mutual Evaluation, to embracing new technologies and investing in the capabilities that will support our work in the years ahead."

GRA is also stepping up its employment of technology in oversight. As part of its next phase of strengthening regulatory capabilities, the regulator's AI masterplan will guide the future use of data and AI. This will help it improve regulatory functions, enhance organisational effectiveness and equip its officers with future-ready capabilities.
For Q2 2026, Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands generated adjusted property EBITDA of US$689m, down 10.3%, as its margin narrowed to 49.9%. Mass gaming revenue rose 5% to US$886m, while rolling win declined 7% to US$439m.
The property maintained 95.6% occupancy and an average daily room rate of $982.
Meanwhile, Genting Singapore reported largely stable financial results for the first half of 2026, with stronger non-gaming performance helping offset softer gaming revenue as Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) continued its multi-year transformation.
Group revenue for the six months ended 30 June reached SG$1.20bn (US$937.87m), broadly unchanged from the previous year. Gaming revenue declined 4% year-on-year to SG$804.4m, while non-gaming revenue increased 6% to SG$398.8m, driven by refreshed attractions, hospitality offerings and new guest experiences despite a softer tourism environment.
Adjusted EBITDA fell 8% to SG$389.8m, while net profit declined to SG$156.1m, reflecting higher depreciation, lower interest income and the impact of ongoing asset enhancement works.
During the year, GRA also renewed licences for Marina Bay Sands and Singapore Pools
